<p>Former President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he &#8220;would be honored&#8221; to have the endorsement of the &#8220;respected&#8221; Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after reports swirled that the Democrat-turned-independent presidential candidate is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rfk-jr-dropping-out-of-race-will-address-nation-while-in-same-city-as-trump-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">planning</a> to throw his support behind Trump in an address later this week.</p>
<p>ABC News reported on Wednesday that Kennedy is expected to end his independent bid for president in a speech on Friday, in which he will also endorse the Republican nominee. Kennedy is slated to speak in Phoenix on Friday as Trump holds an event in Glendale, Arizona, which is just outside of Phoenix. Trump called in to &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; Thursday morning to discuss multiple issues and was asked by host Ainsley Earhardt if he knew any more about Kennedy&#8217;s reported plans.</p>
<p>&#8220;So I&#8217;ve known him for a long time. As you know, he is a little different kind of a guy. Very smart guy and a very good person. If he endorsed me, I would be honored by it,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;He really has his heart in the right place. He is a respected person. Women love some of his policies and I guess some people don’t like some of his policies.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump added that he believes Democrats forced Kennedy out of the party&#8217;s primary because &#8220;there was a good chance&#8221; that he would have beaten President Joe Biden in the primary.</p>

<p>&#8220;I don’t know what he is right now, but he was a Democrat — they treated him very badly. He goes around saying he would have beaten Biden in the primary. I think there was a good chance.&#8221;</p>

While Kennedy has stayed quiet on the reports of his potential Trump endorsement, his running mate Nicole Shanahan <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rfk-jrs-running-mate-we-may-join-forces-with-donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> earlier this week that their campaign was considering &#8220;two options.&#8221; The first &#8220;is staying in [the race], forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Karris and Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump,” Shanahan said. “Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and you know, we walk away from that and we explain to our base why we’re making this decision.”</p>
<p>Kennedy has dropped to 4.5% in the <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/trump-vs-harris-vs-kennedy-vs-stein-vs-west" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RealClearPolitics</a> national polling average in recent weeks after hovering around 10% for much of the year. After Harris became the Democratic nominee, polls have suggested that Kennedy would take more votes away from Trump than he would from the Democratic ticket. The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/08/rfk-jr-third-party-effect-are-now-hurting-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cited</a> six recent polls that all showed Harris performing better if Kennedy remained in the race.</p>
<p>The former Democratic candidate blasted the DNC after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and Vice President Kamala Harris was named the nominee without receiving a primary vote.</p>

<p>&#8220;My father and my uncle were members of a Democratic Party that was at the forefront of making sure that every American could vote for the candidate they wanted to. Today’s Democratic Party is doing the opposite,&#8221; Kennedy <a href="https://x.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1826074927197466856" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Tuesday as the Democratic National Convention continued in Chicago.</p>
<p>He also slammed Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz, <a href="https://x.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1825950913107775707" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posting</a> on X, &#8220;The Democratic Party positions itself as the party of liberty. Kamala Harris says that Americans should make personal decisions without the &#8216;government telling them what to do.&#8217; Tim Walz’s Golden Rule is &#8216;Mind your own damn business.&#8217; In view of the censorship, surveillance, vaccine mandates, and the confederacy of fixers openly working to prevent me from getting on ballots, this is like the arsonist telling us he’s a firefighter.&#8221;</p>
